Incredible lightning strike hits skyscraper in Colorado

One lucky photographer managed to capture the moment an amazing lightning bolt lit up the night sky as it struck a skyscraper in Denver, Colorado.

The unbelievable shot is just one of many of the city's skyline taken by photographer Greg Thow. The 49-year-old has also captured equally stunning shots of arching rainbows and mushroom clouds - all from the comfort of his high-rise apartment balcony.
